Abstract: A method of manufacturing a redistribution layer includes: forming an insulating layer on a wafer, delimited by a top surface and a bottom surface in contact with the wafer; forming a conductive body above the top surface of the insulating layer; forming a first coating region extending around and above the conductive body, in contact with the conductive body, and in contact with the top surface of the insulating layer in correspondence of a bottom surface of the first coating region; applying a thermal treatment to the wafer in order to modify a residual stress of the first coating region, forming a gap between the bottom surface of the first coating region and the top surface of the insulating layer; forming, after applying the thermal treatment, a second coating region extending around and above the first coating region, filling said gap and completely sealing the first coating region.

Abstract: Some embodiments include methods of forming memory cells. Heater structures are formed over an array of electrical nodes, and phase change material is formed across the heater structures. The phase change material is patterned into a plurality of confined structures, with the confined structures being in one-to-one correspondence with the heater structures and being spaced from one another by one or more insulative materials that entirely laterally surround each of the confined structures. Some embodiments include memory arrays having heater structures over an array of electrical nodes. Confined phase change material structures are over the heater structures and in one-to-one correspondence with the heater structures. The confined phase change material structures are spaced from one another by one or more insulative materials that entirely laterally surround each of the confined phase change material structures.
